Walking My Talk
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008I’ve decided that it’s time to publish an e-book online. I keep talking the talk about this educational marketing stuff, but there’s a big piece of it that no one sees me doing. This is one of my biggest new years’ resolutions: to make a habit of asking myself, “Where am I not walking my talk?”
I haven’t completely nailed down the subject matter and audience for the book yet, but it will definitely be geared toward the entrepreneurial crowd. My up-front agenda: to attract clients to my ghost writing business.
Another thing I’m looking at: the words “educational marketing” are boring and stale. There’s no sizzle or sex appeal to them. The words “attraction marketing” have been poisoned by network marketing morons who think that they can “attract” prospects by spraying spam all over the internet. I need to come up with a new term, one that actually sticks.
How can I invent terminology that’s immune to buzzword syndrome? How can I invent a term that the wrong people wouldn’t want to use? That’s one of the challenges I’m up against in my book.
More to come as things develop.
